Curing buckling joints
on: June 14, 2013, 10:50:00 AM
(I've also posted this on the student board, but I'm particularly interested in whether other teachers find this approach as effective as I have, as well as in alternative approaches to the problem)


I've just written a post that details why joints collapse and a simple practical approach to curing that. However, it also leads on to some issues about freeing the hand of wasted efforts- in a way that is especially relevant to smaller hands.

Any thoughts would be welcomed.
